Soil microbial biomass: The eco-physiological approach (2010, background): “A description of the land mark CFIM paper appears in Citation Classic I (Jenkinson et al., 2004)].”
Elemental stoichiometry of Fungi and Bacteria strains from grassland leaf litter (2014, background): “Previous studies have suggested that the approach may preferentially extract cytoplasmic material rich in nucleic acids and possibly co-extract non-cellular material, thereby reducing the observed C:nutrient ratios (Hedley and Stewart, 1982; Jenkinson et al., 2004).”
C:N:P stoichiometry in soil: is there a “Redfield ratio” for the microbial biomass? (2007, methodology): “Thus, estimates of microbial biomass must be adjusted using experi mentally-derived conversion factors for C, N and P (e.g., 0.45, 0.45, and 0.40 for C, N and P, respec tively; Jenkinson et al. 2004; Brookes et al. 1984).”
Phosphorus availability and microbial community in the rhizosphere of intercropped cereal and legume along a P-fertilizer gradient (2016, methodology): “The estimates of microbial biomass were adjusted using experimentallyderived conversion factors for C and P (0.45 and 0.4, respectively), according to Brookes et al. (1984) and Jenkinson (2004).”
Eco-enzymatic stoichiometry and enzymatic vectors reveal differential C, N, P dynamics in decaying litter along a land-use gradient (2016, methodology): “…carbon in soil extracts was determined with a total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer (OI-Analytical, Aurora 1030, College Station, USA), and Cmic was calculated according to the difference between fumigated and unfumigated samples, adjusted with a conversion factor of 0.45 (Jenkinson et al. 2004).”
